“Gu, Mr. Gu, I really don’t know anything. Please let me go. I swear, I will never appear in front of you again.” Zhang Fu knelt on the ground with his hands clasped together and begged Gu Yingyi with a bitter face.

　　Gu Yingyi lowered his head and pressed the lighter again and again. He slowly sent the swaying flame to Zhang Fu’s eyes, and then slowly moved it downwards. The scorching temperature burned his skin and brought a burning sensation. Zhang Fu was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. As the driver brought a bucket of gasoline, Zhang Fu immediately covered his head with both hands and shouted, “I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you! I owed money from gambling and couldn’t pay it back, so I asked them to kidnap Shen Yu to threaten the Shen family. But who knew that Shen Chao suddenly appeared that day, and they looked the same, so the two of them made the wrong choice the first time they kidnapped!”

　　Gu Yingyi was stunned and grabbed Zhang Fu’s collar tightly. “What did you say? Did you kidnap the wrong person?”

　　Zhang Fu was so scared that he almost peed his pants. He answered whatever Gu Yingyi asked, holding his head and trembling, “Yes… yes, we originally wanted to kidnap Shen Yu. We, we originally thought that even if he was stupid, he was still the son of the Shen family, and we could extort some money from him. I swear, we definitely didn’t want to kidnap Shen Chao. We wouldn’t dare to do it even if we were given ten guts!”

　　”Why would Shen Chao go there?!” Veins bulged on Gu Yingyi’s neck.

　　”Every year, the Shen family would send someone to give Shen Yu living expenses on time. On that day, someone called and said he wanted to visit Shen Yu. Who knew he would come early? I really don’t know anything else.”

　　In other words, Shen Chao went to visit Shen Yu in advance that day, and the people arranged by Zhang Fu also wanted to kidnap Shen Yu one day in advance so as to threaten the Shen family the next day. However, the gears of fate turned the wrong way. The people who kidnapped Shen Yu mistook Shen Yu’s twin brother who came to see Shen Yu as Shen Yu, which caused Shen Chao’s accident.

　　Gu Yingyi let go of Zhang Fu in a panic and staggered back a step. He couldn’t accept the news for a moment. It turned out that everything was wrong, everything was wrong…

　　The person he was supposed to marry passed away, and Shen Yu replaced everything that should have belonged to Shen Chao.

　　Wrong, wrong, not right…

　　His Ah Chao shouldn’t have died for Shen Yu!

　　For a moment, great hatred filled Gu Yingyi’s heart. He regretted that he did not discover in time that Shen Chao had returned home early. If he had known that Shen Chao had returned home, perhaps this tragedy would not have happened, perhaps he could have prevented it.

　　It’s too late, everything is too late.

　　The police had told that the possibility of his survival was almost zero. The area downstream was salvaged countless times, but all that was pulled up were the bodies of the two kidnappers and Shen Chao’s tattered clothes.

　　Gu Yingyi stood up in despair, waved his hand at the driver, and said in a flat and cruel voice: “Drag him out, break his legs, and throw him far away.”

　　Gu Yingyi walked to the study and slowly opened the piano placed beside it. This piano was what Shen Chao wanted to own most during his lifetime. He bought it, but Shen Chao was no longer there.

　　The piano keys were brand new, and Gu Yingyi longed to see Shen Chao again.

　　He closed his eyes in sorrow and gently stroked the piano keys, recalling Shen Chao’s favorite song. His fingertips pressed lightly and the sound of the piano echoed in the silent and dim room.

　　The moonlight was like water. Shen Yu returned to the second floor. The melodious sound of the piano reached his ears. The sound was gentle and deep, and there was a kind of sadness that Shen Yu could not understand. He involuntarily followed the source of the sound and gradually came to Gu Yingyi’s study.

　　“Ding!!”

　　The sound of the piano suddenly became shrill. Gu Yingyi, who had been playing with great concentration, put his hands on the keys and stared at Shen Yu. Shen Yu shrank back in fear at his gaze. There were too many things in that look that Shen Yu could not understand. He just felt scared.

　　”Husband…” Shen Yu stammered and called Gu Yingyi.

　　Gu Yingyi had his back to the moonlight, and Shen Yu couldn’t see his expression clearly. There was only a dim desk lamp on in the study. Gu Yingyi walked towards him step by step, and Shen Yu backed away fearfully until his back hit the cold wall.

　　Shen Yu had never seen Gu Yingyi so terrifying before. His eyes looked as if he wanted to eat him alive.

　　”Husband… cough!” his neck was suddenly grabbed tightly by a big hand, which kept tightening. The air in his chest gradually decreased. Shen Yu opened his mouth and breathed hard, his face turning purple.

　　Gu Yingyi stared expressionlessly at Shen Yu, who kept slapping his arm in pain. It seemed that if he exerted a little more strength, he would be able to break this slender and fragile neck.

　　”Why wasn’t you the one who died?”

　　”You took away everything that should have belonged to Shen Chao. Why, why wasn’t you the one who died?”

　　Shen Yu’s face was covered with tears, and the feeling of suffocation made him feel like dying. He didn’t understand what Gu Yingyi was talking about, why did he say that he had taken away everything that belonged to his brother, when he didn’t take anything that belonged to his brother.

　　”Shen Yu, you killed him.”

　　Shen Yu cried desperately, “Shen Yu didn’t hurt my brother, I didn’t steal anything.”

　　Gu Yingyi sneered, “No? Do you really think I’m marrying you? If it weren’t for your father’s efforts, you would never have married me.”

　　Gu Yingyi finally let go of Shen Yu who was about to suffocate. The air re-entered his chest. Shen Yu covered his throat and coughed violently, his whole body trembling.

　　”You are just a tool your father uses to marry into the Gu family in place of Shen Chao to preserve the marriage alliance.” Gu Yingyi pinched Shen Yu’s chin, said some harsh words, and left indifferently.

　　Why wasn’t you the one who died?

　　You thought I married you?

　　You are just a tool your father uses to marry into the Gu family in place of Shen Chao to preserve the marriage alliance.

　　Gu Yingyi’s words replayed in Shen Yu’s mind over and over again. Shen Yu held his head and cried uncontrollably. His heart seemed to be deeply cut by a knife, and blood was gushing out.

　　Shen Yu cried until he couldn’t breathe, tears rushing out from his tear glands. He clutched his chest, choking stubbornly and obstinately, “Yu Yu, didn’t harm my brother, didn’t steal my brother’s things, Yu Yu married my husband, not a tool, not a tool…”

……

……

　　Since that night, Gu Yingyi didn’t return to the villa for several days. Shen Yu also became taciturn from then on. He no longer asked Aunt Chen when Gu Yingyi would come back. He became depressed, but he couldn’t hide his emotions. All the sad expressions were written on his face. He just buried his head in knitting those dolls every day.

　　The order for the stubborn little Corgi was finally completed. The other party sent him the address online and asked him to deliver the doll in person and then pay the balance.

　　Shen Yu had already transferred all the deposit to Zhang Fu. He packed up the dolls and rode Aunt Chen’s trolley to the destination.

　　Fortunately, the dolls are not big, and the keychains are generally similar, so a hundred of them can be packed in a slightly larger box.
